A senior White House adviser said the Justice Department will set the amount of compensation if it deems that paying migrants separated from their families will save taxpayers money — payments that run as much as $450,000 or more.
“If the DOJ determines that it saves the taxpayers money and it rights a wrong, then they will make the determination that is necessary and I would assume if they make a determination, they’ll come up with what they think is an adequate dollar amount,” Cedric Richmond said on “Fox News Sunday.”
Richmond said the Justice Department is making its decision independently of the White House.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the average demand in each lawsuit adds up to approximately $3.4 million per family, while the settlement offer from the Biden administration amounts to around $450,000 per person and close to $1 million per family.

Argentina did nothing to you. Why would you do that to them?
Change the maximum amount to 500 PESOS, and I’d agree. (That’s about 25 USD at the current rate).
And be sure to include “free” transportation to the nearest border.
Cornesty.
Agree; where the hell is the Republican “leadership” in the Senate? At least there are some like Cruz and the guy from Missouri but the rest of them are silent while this steal of taxpayer money proceeds, led by a senile fool of a gasbag “president”. They were quick enough to back the steal that is the “infrastructure” bill; why are they so quiet now??
Border patrol now say there are mostly Venzuelians coming in than S. Americans. They fly to Mexico and then cross over.
We are so much loosing the fabric of our country every day! And stupid American women will be marrying these people as well.
I don’t think you can even measure the level of rage US citizens have over this.
All democrat taliban voters did this folks. They are domestic enemies of the US Constitution.
The R House should also plan to zero out the operations budget for any Court which rules against the House for this action.
When will enough be enough for small business owners and people who have to cut checks to the federal govt/IRS?
WHEN WILL WE STOP PAYING TAXES??????????
Our taxes are enabling this madness!
And how much do I get..oh yeah I’m an American citizen who wont vote Dem so I get NOTHING..but the illegals who cross the border will get plenty of dough to vote Dem
What about all the Jan 6 political prisoners detained illegally and indefinitely and separated from their families?
When will they be paid you freakin crooks 🤪
I am incensed about this. I wish there were some legal way I could stop it.
We need a class suit against the administration and jointly against Brandon and the Congress for devaluating our citizenships.
The legal costs are secondary given the precedent being set. Think of all the money DOJ could save not prosecuting the J6 trespassers.
In 1988 Japanese that had been sent to internment camps were given $20k apiece and only after Congress passed the Civil Liberties Act which had been campaigned for by the Japanese American community for over a decade. They were true victims, had not broken any laws.
This giveaway is totally illegal.
No, not $450,000.
It will only be $5,000 per day.
So, if they were separated for 90 days...
This how you do obfuscation by semantics.
Like any department of this government is not taking it’s orders from the polit bureau.
“I would assume if they make a determination, they’ll come up with what they think is an adequate dollar amount,”
And who will appropriate the money?
Exactly. We didn’t ask them to come here. We should not be rewarding criminals for breaking the law.
These destructive Democrats are pure evil.
The U.S. government and the Brandon administration is totally out of control.
